"Thanks Ant," I said, recognizing him by the nickname only he uses. We remained hugging for a bit too long and split apart when Lin cleared his throat.

"Sorry," Ant said, his face flushing. He jumped off the stage and sat down next to Daveed. I smiled uncontrollably throughout the rest of rehearsal.

When practice ended, Pippa and I went to go hang out with Anthony, Oak, and Daveed. We talked for a while about random stuff before we had to leave to get Noah from the airport. Pippa had agreed to drive me there.

"Well got to go pick up Jazzy's boyfriend. Anyone want to come," Pippa said sarcastically, clearly dreading the hour-long drive. Daveed, Oak, and I laughed.

"Sure!" Anthony said. We all looked at him a little weirdly but allowed him to follow us out to the car.

"He just wants to meet his competition," Pippa whispered as we stopped in our dressing room to grab our bags. I rolled my eyes at her.

During the drive we all talked non-stop, one person coming up with random questions for the other two to answer.

I was kinda glad Anthony decided to come. Not because I like him. I don't like him. Because he's funny and sweet. And hot.

We went inside the airport and continued talking. I checked the time on my phone. Noah's plane was supposed to land forty-five minutes ago. I must've lost track of time.

Maybe Noah didn't see us and went to baggage claim.

But he said he would call when he landed.

Maybe his plane got delayed.

Don't you think he would've texted to tell you that? I think the plane crashed.

The two sides of my brain argued, coming up with every possible bad situation until they were interrupted by my phone buzzing in my pocket. I saw it was Noah and picked up.

"Hey babe," Noah said. I breathed a sigh of relief when I heard his voice.

"Hi Noah!" I said, happy that my boyfriend didn't die in a plane crash. I glanced over at Pippa and Ant. I swear I saw a flash of disappointment cross Ant's face, but he quickly replaced it with a smile.

"Babe," Noah said, sounding slightly sad. "I missed my flight. I can't get another one 'til next week." The smile disappeared from my face.

"Oh. Okay," I responded, trying to hide the sadness in my voice. "I'll see you next week then." I heard a voice in the background. "Who's that?" I asked.

"Oh... That's-that's just my... um... Cousin!" He didn't sound certain but I decided against getting into an argument.

"Okay," I ended gloomily. "See you next week."

"Bye babe. I miss you," he said before hanging up. I turned my phone off and put it back in my pocket.

"Noah missed his flight. He won't be here 'til next week." Pippa looked at me sympathetically. Ant put a protective arm around my shoulder.

"Cheer up Jas! Let's go home and watch a movie." Pippa quickly nodded and we walked outside, got in the car, and drove to Pippa's.

We got in her apartment and sat on the couch. Ant put his arm around me and without thinking, I rested my head on his shoulder.

Feeling protected in his embrace, I fell asleep.

Noah's POV

I hung up the phone. Emma and I both burst into laughter.

"She totally believed you!" Emma giggled as she laid down next to me on the bed and curled into my chest. "Thank you so much for staying," I smiled down at her.

"It's fine. I'd rather be here anyway."

Emma needed me here. We had both been cheating on our partners for about a year. Her boyfriend found out and dumped her. What was his name? Allen? Andrew? Doesn't matter. We decided to take a vacation together. If Jasmine found out about Emma, she'd want to break up with me.

I don't think I could let her go.
